Corsia Stadion, Present-Day Via Battisti

Historical photo of Corsia Stadion, present-day Via Cesare Battisti in Trieste. The lively avenue shows an electric tram running on the tracks between nineteenth-century buildings with arcades and shops, while passers-by and a carriage cross paths along the street. The line wires and the curve of the tracks guide the gaze towards the houses in perspective and the hills in the background, restoring the urban atmosphere of the early twentieth century. An urban view of everyday life in the center of Trieste.
